In all of the gloom , the hilarious suggestion Patterson would have saved us . Neatly forgetting how unreliable he was or that LJ sent him on loan . People are scrabbling around in frustration . It’s a time for cool heads and support . We are in a greatly difficult and complex situation . The solution will not be instant. 

No, and the (inevitable) Relegation Will Not Be Televised (beyond brief highlights on Quest), fingers crossed.

Will help our cause when confirmed.

Yes, we could be relegated next season, not this. One Step Beyond! 

Harry Maguire.

Dwight Gayle.

Jessie Lingard. 

Eddie Nketiah. 

The lad that come here, smacked/was smacked by Mark Little (allegedly), then buggered off. To the PL. Him, or Matty Taylor.

Actually jealous of Coventry, Blackpool and Luton at the moment.

 

Me too, mate. Looking forward to going to Highfield Road Saturday, though. 

Is smacking Roy Keane one in the face "bullying" though?

Fortunately there are 3 or 4 other teams that are worse than us in this division

Absolutely, and probably 5-7 teams that are no better than us too, all jostling for lower-half of the table.

Are we paying too much to watch this crudstuff?

Was always impressed and surprised with Tony Blair, keeping it up with Kevin Keegan. Can't see Michael Foot/Ed Milliebland/Jezza Coyrbn managing more than one ....

but for the worse miss of the season in injury time by Barnsley we would still be looking for our first home win in nearly a year. I dont think I will be looking up this season but will be watching below us.

One or two relegation spots wide open, still

Would’ve been happier if Cardiff hadn’t reversed 3 goals v Stoke.

Will have upset Stoke quite a lot though, so not all bad

Football is full of stuff like that though, isn’t it?

AD was ahead of his time, Tony Collins lived in Rochdale & he always referred to him as his “branch manager in the North” rightly pointing out how many more league clubs were nearer to his home than Bristol for scouting opposition & players.

Not many others did this type of thing then.

Because most clubs were in the north, Midlands,  London, in clusters of clubs, and had less need to?

Think we forget about Brentford’s model & find our own one..

That's going to take new/fresh ownership, isn't it? To find our own approach to this that works even half as well as Brentford's is going to require a fresh start from the top, fresh thinking, new ideas. It's not going to come from SL now, or anyone he appoints. Is it?

If SL had an original or brilliant idea on this front, it would've happened by now. You would think. There's not an ounce of originality or ingenuity or inspiration at Bristol City, currently, not even with Nige there. Is the impression I'm getting.

To do any better than this, or this era (2008; 2017-19) we need to move on from SL; to avoid being disastrously worse, we need to cling on to SL as long as we can.

20 odd years now we have had sl.

Look where we are.

A dogfight.

Imagine another 20 years of this

 

We are between a rock (the stultifying safety and security of SL, going around in ever-depressing circles) and a hard place (the great unknown of Bristol City post-Lansdown, which could go tits up or better than expected. But if you had to put your money on it, it'd be "tits up" under some dodgy overseas ownership).
